Planning and Zoning Commission Denies Rezoning Request

Thursday night, a good number of local citizens showed up at a City Planning and Zoning Commission meeting at City Hall. The commission denied a request to rezone the area basically between 13th and 15th Street and Avenues O and Q. The issue will now go before the Huntsville City Council for public hearings and discussion on October 16th and November 13th. Most residents attending the meeting favor a zoning change from management to neighborhood conservation–which allows for single-family residences only.
